POSITIONING
• Put the hob on a stable, level, heat resistant work surface, at least 75cm (30in) above oor
level, and leave a space of at least 5cm (2in) all round.
• Don’t use the hob near or under cupboards, curtains or combustible materials.
• Keep it away from the edge of the work surface, and route the cable so it doesn’t overhang
and can’t be tripped over or caught.
CONTROLS
1. Each hotplate has a control and a light. The controls are marked MIN (o) to MAX.
2. To switch a hotplate on, turn its control clockwise from MIN.
3. To switch a hotplate o, turn its control anti-clockwise to MIN.
4. Each light glows when its hotplate is heating, goes o when the set temperature is reached,
then cycles on and o as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.
PANS
• Use heavy-based, at-bottomed pans, for good contact with the hotplates.
• Sit the pans centrally on the hotplates.
• Position the handles safely out of the way, where they can’t be knocked.
• Use pans with bases the same size as the hotplates, to avoid overheating.
• Don’t use oversized pans (e.g. catering pans) or pans which cover both hotplates. They’ll
overheat the hob, and reduce its working life.
USING
1. Check that both controls are at MIN.
2. Plug the hob into the wall socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
3. Turn the control(s) to the required setting(s).
4. Use the lower settings (1-2) for simmering, medium (3-4) for rolling boil and the higher
settings (5-6) for boiling.
5. The hotplates will stay hot for quite a while after switching o. Use the residual heat to keep
food warm, or to dry o potatoes or rice.
6. Switch the hotplates o (MIN), wait till they’re cold, and unplug before moving or cleaning
the hob.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Switch the hotplates o (MIN), unplug the hob (switch the socket o rst, if it’s switchable),
and wait till the hotplates are cold.
2. Mop up any spillage after each use, don’t leave it to harden.
3. Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth (and a little washing-up liquid if necessary).
